Anyone watching? I like Jenna Coleman, but not sure we need another child grooming story. Also hadn't realised there were two different time scales!

I expected to like it but was completely confused by the storyline, very disjointed. I like Jenna Coleman normally but not in this. Couldn't hear some of the dialogues and couldn't read the "notes" held up to the camera nor the pill bottle label. Just not believable really so a 👎 from me.

Terrible but there's nothing else on

Suspect looks better.

I’ve stopped reading comments on here as it looked likely that spoilers were coming up quite early on. Could we leave discussion of the ending till the series has finished please? Not all of us binge watch.

Apart from the many other concerns the majority of interior scenes were apparently shot in the dark.

My sentiments exactly!

Just watched the 1st episode and didn't realised that there was two different time zones! Obviously I was not paying attention 🙄 Good job I read this thread before I watch any more episodes, as I'm not so sure I would have noticed!

*were two different time zones.

I didn’t realise for a while that there were two different time zones.
It was better when I did realise, but it wasn’t very compelling. I watched it because there was nothing else on worth watching.

It turned out to be one of those “well there’s a few hours of my life I’ll never get back” series for me. As well as leaving me feeling a bit grubby by association.

It took me abut two seconds to delete it all!!

Maggie , thanks you’ve expressed my feelings so well. Grubby by association

Thank you for the reviews.
It saved me wasting a few hours of my life.

Just started watching The Jetty why is the lighting so dark. Couldn't the BBC afford lighting . And the colour looks washed out. Annika is set by water but at least you can see clearly what's going on.

We dumped this after the first episode. I don't dislike Jenna Coleman but she seemed the least believable detective that I have ever seen and we could not get engaged with it.
We watch a lot of detective stuff including the Scandi Noir and Walter Presents stuff and there's a parade of intriguing, believable , entertaining and inspiring (although fictional obvs) detectives. Sophie Grabol, Jenna. Watch and learn.

Walter presents have some brilliant series on there. I gave up watching the Jetty. 5 have some good series on there which I watch on My 5 just watched Harry Wild with Jane Seymour , Madam Blanc mysteries, think it's called murder mystery with Julie Graham. U drama has some good series on there as well. Can catch up on ITV X now I have a Fire stick.
